He Made Me Train Like a Pro for a Week (EJ’s Training Camp)

[@Ejstrainingcamp]

Thanks for coming to training camp ❤ It was a pleasure having you!

[@MitchBoyer]

I really thought I was cooked at several points, but you got more out of me than I believed was possible! Best training camp director award 2024 🫡

[@EhrlicherEdukator]

Found you while installing my Di2 groupset and became a fan of your videos. Great stuff

[@MitchBoyer]

Thanks dude, glad you’re here!

[@KelvinSuddith]

Another great, entertaining video. Excited for your trip to Europe and the videos coming out of that. On a separate note, went from one of your older videos to this one, and this one was very quiet comparatively. Just a heads up

[@MitchBoyer]

Thanks for the heads up! Audio mixing is my Achilles heel… always trying to improve. I used to mix too hot, and maybe I went too far the other way in this one 😜

[@ChrisP978]

​@@MitchBoyerYeah the mid video ads were blasting as they interjected. Need to come up about 6-10 dB probably.

[@帥勾克里斯]

I always appreciate that you include metric units in your videos!

[@MitchBoyer]

I wish we used the metric system here 😭

[@L.amanda]

Me too!!

[@BartSchrijvers]

Good luck! You should visit the Netherlands, you'll be above average there! That's what I love and hate about cycling, you can be heavy or lightweight, tall or short, a sprinter or endurance type, you got to play the cards. I know I'm only above average on a downhill section, haha. Stay very very humble on the climbs though if you're taller and heavier than the average cyclist. In fact, I find climbing to be so depressing that I avoid it at all costs, no matter how beautiful the scenery is.

[@ulixir]

Love the videos and the editing Mitch!

[@ausbrook]

Thanks for sharing the video. Looking forward to seeing the European trip.

[@swaaagquan3540]

Thanks for the video, hope you enjoyed the training camp. I did a couple when I was 17 and racing, loved it. Now at 30 I'd love to go do one soon. Have fun in Europe, got a lot of fun climbs ahead, take care 👍

[@MitchBoyer]

Thanks!

[@goodcompanycoffee]

Great production and story telling as usual. Go get it Mitch!

[@ADVRaiderKTM]

SF Bay Area has way more stable weather and immense options for riding and elevation gain. And it never gets scorching hot like it does in LA.

[@abone2pick]

Bay Area significantly windier and colder and gets way more rain … La has multiple climbs that go above 5k some even up to 6-7k which can’t be said for the bay

[@XIIVXVII]

Can't wait for the Europe trip, they're beautiful climbs everyone should experience at least once.

[@jasonvtmd]

Gonna try the ketones for recovery. I’m 54 and having probs w/ fatigue and over reaching. Training is hard when u r midlde aged and work full time! Cool green kit btw

[@darshenjason3164]

Also need to find segments that have not cheated on by people with cars or motorbikes :(

[@caccio2833]

Can’t wait to see you try Scanuppia🤩🤩

[@MitchBoyer]

I’m equal parts excited and terrified 😅

[@jkotvis]

Pos 266 out of 33000 is hugely above average dude! Think glass half full, not half empty. That effort is insanely good!

[@MitchBoyer]

Thanks man! It’s good to step back and see the big picture like that-hard to do when I spent the week with stronger riders who were ripping my legs off 😂

[@jonasgehrke7287]

How do you like the new SunGod glasses? Are the lenses good enough for bright/sunny conditions?

[@MitchBoyer]

I love 'em, and haven't had any issues on super sunny days! The only time I use the regular lenses is if I'm on an afternoon ride and I know I'll be done before the sun goes down--mostly because I feel guilty that they're underused lol

[@andrewzach1921]

Thanks for the video Mitch.

[@MoreMiles2Go]

Let’s go Mitch!!!

[@__-yq5ij]

great video man!

[@alessandrodallape8791]

When are you coming to try the Scanuppia? I live pretty close (Trento) and I tried/"rode" it one time... would love to see your attempt.

[@MitchBoyer]

I'll be there in 2 weeks! Send me a dm on IG and maybe we can meet up ✌️

[@starlitshadows]

Funny, a week ago I was looking at PJamm's top 10 hardest climbs. For one I was thinking wtf?! 😮 the whole time. 2 I thought "I wonder if Mitch will try any of these?" I got my answer. Good luck and I am looking forward to this.

[@JibbaJabber]

Mitch, I'm coming for your KOM 😊 Great vid, strength and power💪

[@MitchBoyer]

Better go quick before EJ snags it and the segment becomes untouchable!

[@urouroniwa]

My KOM: Slightly downhill flat section with a 32 km/h tail wind. Still taking it.

[@Frostbiker]

Did you add a sail to your bike? You are safe here, you can tell us.

[@tim_berry]

7:40 - Genuinely curious... what does the standing on one leg help with?

[@MitchBoyer]

Oh, it's a timelapse of me doing leg raises, but it does look like I'm just standing on one leg 😂

[@JutsuJDM]

Mitch, you should come visit me here in south Africa. We have a cement climb that will obliterate your legs and could possibly be the hardest in the world

[@CycoWarriorx]

Yup… find a route a pro hasn’t done, or create one - then lock it… that works every time… 😅… I mean I wouldn’t know personally, I’m just sayin I heard it can be done… 😆🍻

[@MitchBoyer]

“allegedly…” 😂

[@sigmundreiner3483]

Hey Mitch, if you go to Europe do you plan to visit the "Harz region" in Germany? would like to see you there :D.

[@MitchBoyer]

Not visiting Germany this time, but I hope to do multiple Europe trips for the channel in the future🤞

[@subliminalfreedom]

Well done!

[@BeniVidiBici]

you HAVE to visit Switzerland and doing the super beautiful Furka Pass. Or you could do a challenge where you pursuing the Swiss Cycling Alpenbrevet. SWISS CYCLING ALPENBREVET This classic cycle marathon leads along picturesque routes over the most beautiful Swiss Alpine passes. It’s not about the competition, but about the experience and overcoming a personal challenge. The different event formats cater for every level of ability."

[@ulixir]

I am 17th!! Lets go!

[@MitchBoyer]

[@yarivyos]

What mount for the insta 360 are you using on the aero bars to get the outfront shot? thks

[@MitchBoyer]

It’s a ball head clamp that I got off Amazon to try out, but unfortunately it’s not very stable. I had to constantly adjust it and I wouldn’t recommend it. The most stable mount I’ve found is the Insta360 Seat Post mount, but it only attaches to round bars so I have to cheat it by mounting it to the drops. That’s how I get the side view shots. There will be a bit more detail o the setup in the next video

[@yarivyos]

@@MitchBoyer thanks for the reply. I do the drops cheat too, and the lack of attachment for aero bars is a common complaint.

[@RylHango]

Nice SunGod sunglasses, do you have an affiliate link with them?

[@MitchBoyer]

Thanks! If you want to use it, the SunGod link in the description let’s them know I sent you :)

[@RylHango]

@@MitchBoyer FYI the link sent me to their UK website, hope you got a cut off my order :)

[@MitchBoyer]

@@RylHango appreciate it dude!

[@michaelstein800]

Wait a minute, Mitch! There’s been a fault on this videos thumbnail! I know exactly you‘re no longer just an average cyclist but an above average cyclist for quite a while 😂

[@MitchBoyer]

Haha thank you!🙏

[@JBmadera]

great video!

[@seanstrachan]

WE LOVE EJ

[@jasonyoung-lalumiere4828]

Thumbnail is click bait. You are in fact a proven ABOVE average cyclist😌.

[@MitchBoyer]

😂 thanks for reminding me! It’s hard to remember when you spend a week desperately chasing EJ and his buddies

[@DanTuber]

what gearing you got on the new bike?

[@MitchBoyer]

I run a 46/33 chainring and 11-33 cassette for steep streets here in LA. Ritte are building up a special bike for the trip with MTB gearing so I can (maybe) make it up the climb!

[@erickim3265]

As a person who owns most of the local KOMs Dont come my way!

[@storytimewithkirk6659]

how do you have your x3 mountain on drop

[@MitchBoyer]

I actually use the Insta360 seat post mount and clamp it the the drops. It takes up a lot of room, but it's the most secure mount I've found

[@nsrikumaran]

What helmet do you use?

[@MitchBoyer]

Met Trenta

[@denisspratt926]

Nice video. But I don´t like how so many people focus in Strava these days. I had Strava for 1-2 weeks at a point but it did nothing for me. I did take some KOMs, but I don´t care about that. I am not a fast climber, but I am quoite fast on the flats and downhill. But for me cycling is about not being on the phone. Just a mental break form social media and the screen. Strava ruined that for me. And I think that a lot of cyclist would benefit from not using it. But a nice video though.

[@Thaiko16]

When are you going to Europe and which country? :)

[@MitchBoyer]

Next month! Spending time in the French Alps, Swiss Alps and the Dolomites

[@Thaiko16]

​@@MitchBoyer Sounds divine! You will be surrounded by a lot of cyclists (like me) climbing those beautiful mountains during that time. Enjoy and hopefully see you there!

[@MitchBoyer]

@@Thaiko16 thanks, can’t wait!

[@JeffreyThistle]

that horse at 5:50

[@MitchBoyer]

A good horse

[@seanstrachan]

39th😔(I was out riding when the video dropped)

[@MitchBoyer]

Still top 50! That’s better than half my segment efforts in the video! 😂

[@glennicol1361]

You look pretty lean these days!

[@MitchBoyer]

Thanks man! I’ve been working with a sports dietitian for another video that will be out in a month or so.

[@snxstar]

Did you get faster though

[@MitchBoyer]

Once my legs recovered from the camp, I was flying on all my normal segments back home!

[@TH4TGUYGREG]

that handle bar bag is killing your aero gains

[@MitchBoyer]

I’ve been waiting for this comment ever since I realized I had left the bar bag on… right after finishing that second climb 😂😭

[@TH4TGUYGREG]

The bar bag is a perfect inbuilt excuse though - I see this as a chance to try the climb again so we can compare the difference it made 😂

[@MitchBoyer]

@@TH4TGUYGREGTrue! Maybe one day when I forget about how hard it was to ride with EJ for a week 😂
